Lessen the Pain at the Pump with a 2012 Top 10 EPA-Rated Fuel Sipping Toyota Prius

Gas prices in Massachusetts dropped a whole two cents this week. This is the first time prices have dipped in 2012, according to AAA Southern New England. A March 12 AAA survey revealed that self-serve, regular unleaded gas will cost you $3.719 a gallon, on average. Westboro Toyota doesn’t know about you, but we think this “drop” still represents a major "ouch" pain at the pump!

But, it does no good to let that pain at the pump get you down. It’s better to focus on what you can do to reduce your automotive fuel bills.

Toyota is the most fuel-efficient, full-line auto maker in the United States, and Toyota has been working hard to strengthen its portfolio of fuel-efficient vehicles. With several new models on the lot here at Westboro Toyota offering an average combined fuel economy of 44 mpg, we’re sure you’ll find a pump-pain elixer that’s right for you. For instance several Toyota’s Prius models made Fueleconomy.gov's Top Ten EPA-Rated Fuel Sippers for 2012:

• Prius v (an EPA midsize station wagon class leader with 42 mpg combined);

• Prius plug-in (EPA rated 50 mpg combined and 95 MPGe), featuring extended electric range; and

• Prius c (EPA rated 50 mpg combined and the leader in the EPA’s compact class), which is coming soon to Westboro Toyota;

Keep in mind, too, that Intellichoice named the Prius the Best Overall Value for 2012 in the passenger car category.

These vehicles offer leading-edge drivetrain and engineering technologies, which help them get great gas mileage. Hybrid Synergy Drive, extended electric vehicle range, a generous use of lightweight high-strength steel, a focus on aerodynamics and the use of efficient Continuously Variable Transmissions help, too.

Now is a great time to buy a new Prius from Westboro Toyota. The federal government is offering tax credits up to $7,500 on the purchase of a new plug-in hybrid-electric vehicle (PHEV), with the amount of the credit based on the battery capacity used to fuel the car.

To date, the Toyota Prius is the best-selling fuel-efficient vehicle sold in the world. Join the more than 3.5 million Prius owners who have discovered a pain-at-the-pump pill that make rising gas prices a little easier to swallow!

Westboro Toyota Joins Toyota in Setting Sights on Future of Transportation

Happy New Year everyone! Now that 2012 is upon us, Westboro Toyota has got its sights set on the future. And the timing couldn’t be more perfect, as Toyota is poised to display the future of transportation at the upcoming North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). How cool!

A constant innovator, Toyota will unveil a new advanced plug-in hybrid concept vehicle called the NS4. And—drum roll please—it will also show off the new Prius c, which will be hitting the Westboro Toyota showroom floor very soon. Prius c is the fourth member of our beloved Prius family of hybrids, and its Prius brothers and sisters will be on display at NAIAS in the “Prius Family Zone.” Oh, and in case you didn't already hear, the Toyota Prius was named the best green car to buy for 2012!

Other innovative Toyota designs will be shown off, too—like the FCV-R, a fuel cell sedan concept vehicle (the R stands for reality and revolution) and the Fun Vii, which has been designed to give drivers the opportunity to connect wirelessly with the infrastructure and surrounding roads. These are just some of the technologies Toyota engineers are studying right now with the hope of bringing them to market in the next 10 years.

Those in attendance at NAIAS will also get the chance to experience Toyota’s renowned Star Safety System firsthand through Toyota’s interactive Safety Simulator exhibit.

This year at NAIAS, Toyota wants to drive home its vision as an automaker, Ruslan Polinsky of Toyota Motor Sales said. Fortunately, you don’t need to travel all the way Detriot, Michigan, to attend to NAIAS next week to check out Toyota’s innovative designs and feature for yourself. Stop by Westboro Toyota to see for yourself the all-new redesigned 2012 Toyota Camry, the 2012 Prius v, and a slew of other great new cars, trucks and SUVs!

New Year's is Here: Westboro Toyota's Look Back at 2011 and the Road Ahead for 2012

Happy New Year everyone! The ball hasn’t dropped yet, but with New Year’s Eve less than 24 hours away, Westboro Toyota knows the excitement is building and that in about 36 hours we’ll bid adieu to 2011 and welcome in 2012 with a bang.

With New Year’s upon us, it’s that time of year again: to reflect on where we’ve been and set our sights on the horizon ahead.

2011 was a great year for us here at Westboro Toyota and for Toyota in general.

• We welcomed new Priuses to the family – the Prius V, the Prius C, which is set to hit the showroom in 2012, and the Prius Plug-In Hybrid, joined the third generation Prius’ fam.

• Toyota earned more accolades from Vincentric's 7th Annual Best Value in America awards, which rate vehicles based on cost of ownership according to factors including depreciation, fuel, insurance, opportunity cost, financing, maintenance, taxes and state fees, and repairs, for the 2011 model year, in total capturing 10 awards to lead all auto manufacturers!

• The all-new 2012 Toyota Camry, with a sleek redesign, rolled onto the showroom floor, making the 2012 Camry the seventh generation inception of America’s most beloved sedan.

• As we do every year, Westboro Toyota ran a number of great promotions for our customers – from Toyotathon, with $0 down, $0 maintenance fees, and 0% financing to Dunkin Donuts gift cards for booking service online, to deals galore on service.

For 2012, Westboro Toyota’s New Year’s resolution is to continue offering exceptional service and deals for our customers. You’ll still get live pricing on our new Toyota vehicles, and be sure to regularly check our website for deals on Toyota-certified and certified-pre-owned vehicles, too.

2012 is going to be an exciting year for us. We’ve already showed you the brand-new redesigned Camry, and very soon the Prius C will be making its debut here.

Welcome 2012, and to all of your customers, may you have a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!
